摘要: Abstract After the first report describing copper thiocyanate (CuSCN) nanowires (NWs) electrochemical deposition from an aqueous electrolyte at room temperature [1] , present study provides additional information on effect of complexing agent and pH their formation. The CuSCN electrodeposition solution is a two-step reaction, where in step Cu2+ reduced to Cu+, second Cu+ chemically precipitates with SCN− form CuSCN. In this study, NWs are electrodeposited either potentiostatically or galvanostatically flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates covered transparent conductive oxide. It shown that nature chelating (diamino-tetraacetic acid compounds) value (between 1 2) main parameters responsible for nanowire concentration limits agent, ions established precise region could be grown. diameter density tailored by applied potential electrolyte. possibility deposit good crystalline quality very promising further contribute decrease optoelectronic photovoltaic device cost.
